Bayern Munich vs Chelsea: Franck Ribery and More Stars Who Will Dominate

Franck Ribery will be one of the few players who will dominate the Champions League final between Bayern Munich and Chelsea.

Ribery and several other attacking players will make this final very exciting and hopefully full of goal scoring throughout the 90 minutes on Saturday.

Let's look at three players who will dominate in the world's biggest club football match.

Mario Gomez, ST, Bayern Munich

Mario Gomez will be tough for Chelsea to stop with center-backs John Terry and Branislav Ivanovic not available to play in the middle of the defense due to card suspensions.

Gomez is a big target in the attack and uses his strength and size very well. At 6'2", he's difficult to defend on set pieces because of his world-class heading ability.

Gomez's 12 goals in Champions League play this season is the most of any player still in the competition, and is two behind leader Lionel Messi's mark of 14.

If Chelsea cannot stop Gomez from having quality scoring opportunities, then the Blues will lose the final.

Juan Mata, Midfielder, Chelsea

The Spanish midfielder has two goals and two assists in Champions League play this season and will have to play well for Chelsea to lift the European crown.

Mata is a talented player who can create for his teammates while at the same time provide his own goal scoring.

If Mata can make life difficult for the Munich defenders with his pace, dribbling and playmaking skills, then the Blues will be able to score goals against a Bayern squad missing key defensive players due to card suspensions.

Franck Ribery, LW, Bayern Munich

Franck Ribery is very motivated to dominate in this year's final after he missed the 2010 final for Munich because he got a red card in the semifinal against Lyon that year.

The French star is a world-class winger who can also excel as a central midfielder. His great pace down the flanks and quick dribbling make him incredibly challenging to defend. Ribery can also score from free kicks if he's in range to take a shot at goal.

Whoever plays at right-back for Chelsea will have a nightmarish time preventing Ribery from sending dangerous crosses into the box and making his own runs toward goal.

Expect Ribery to come into the final with something to prove.
